Just finished this one for the Gembloux knife show.

It’s a Bull Shark m2. The final version of my user knives. Shape of the blade has been unchanged, only the construction of the handle is different. In the prototypes I used rubber grips which I liked a lot. Only in this handle construction it was hard to glue the rubber to the metal. I was still able to peal it of. So I changed it to micarta scales with rubber liners. In the back everything is pinned internally so the micarta scales cannot split. The pommel is peened.

O1 toolsteel, forged. Selectively hardened and a gray/green gunkote finish.

Here are some fussy pics:

I think this is an outstanding design. It looks like it would be great to have when spending time in the wilderness. The pommel looks like it would work great as a hammer.
